HOLLINGSWORTH  LIBRARY 


BOOKS  OF  THE  LATE  AMOR  L,  HOLLINGSWORTH 
TO  BE  DISPERSED. 

A  Magnificent  Collection  Gathered  by  a  Booklover — Some  Not- 
able Nuggets  of  New  England  History,  Including  Early 
Massachusetts  Laws,  Ranked  Among  the  Rarest  of  Rare 
Books — Early  Printing  and  the  Classics  Not  Overlooked — 
Early  Chronicles,  Including  the  Nuremberg  of  1493 — 
Many  Scarce  Books  in  English  First  Editions. 


The  large  number  of  books  which  the  late  Amor  L.  Hollings- 
worth  of  Milton,  gathered  in  the  course  of  a  long  and  useful 
life  form  both  a  library  and  a  collection.  Mr.  Hollingsworth 
was  a  collector  of  the  same  type  as  the  late  Frederick  W. 
French,  the  dispersal  of  whose  library  in  1901  is  one  of  the 
great  milestones  in  the  history  of  book  auctions.  But  at  the 
same  time  he  was  a  reader,  interested  not  only  in  the  great 
rarities,  but  in  literature  in  its  broad  sense,  making  a  library 
for  himself  and  those  who  surrounded  him.  Fortunately  he 
began  years  ago  when  many  of  the  prizes  of  to-day  had  not 
been  locked  up  forever  in  [jublic  libraries,  and  after  be  became 


interested  in  literature  and  book  collecting,  some  of  the  great 
private  libraries — the  Brinley,  Barlow,  Ives,  Menzies,  French, 
McKee  and  others — came  into  the  market  and  afforded  Mr. 
Hollingsworth  an  opportunity  to  enrich  his  library  and  collec- 
tion with  works  which  are  the  envy  of  the  bibliophile.  To 
his  appreciation  of  the  best  in  literature  he  added  a  love  of 
fine  bindings  and  of  fine  engravings.  A  history  of  the  art  of 
engraving  from  the  earliest  times  to  the  present,  illustrated  by 
the  best  examples  of  masters,  may  be  found  in  his  splendid 
collection,  now  to  be  dispersed.  Many  of  his  books  were  selected 
with  reference  to  this  point,  and  while  he  was  not  an  extra- 
illustrator  in  the  common  sense  of  that  word,  he  had  some 
magnificent  books  of  this  class.  Early  in  his  career  as  a  col- 
lector he  became  affiliated  with  many  of  the  best  book  pub- 
lishing clubs,  and  almost  up  to  the  time  of  his  death  he  retained 
a  lively  interest  in  the  Club  of  Odd  Volumes  of  this  city,  the 
Grolier  Club  of  New  York,  Caxton  Club  of  Chicago,  and  others. 
He  did  not  neglect  to  obtain  original  issues  of  the  most  famous 
of  modern  presses  and  his  sporting  books  have  already  been 
described  in  the  Bibliographer  column  of  the  Transcript. 

That  this  magnificent  library  is  to  be  sold  by  auction, 
may  come  as  a  surprise  to  some,  but  Mr.  Hollingsworth  felt 
that  as  others  in  the  family  had  libraries  of  their  own,  his 
treasures,  at  his  death,  should  be  dispersed  in  order  that  others 
might  have  the  same  opportunity  he  had  and  feel  the  same 
pleasure  he  felt  in  the  acquisition  of  rare  books  offered  in 
auction  sales. 

RARE  AMERICANA. 

This  library  is  rich  in  Rare  Americana,  there  are  no 
less  than  twenty-one  Mathers,  for  instance,  with  some  of  the 
great  rarities.  There  are  not  only  the  writings  of  Increase, 
Richard,  Cotton  and  Samuel  Mather,  but  of  Nathaniel  of 
London,  and  Samuel  of  Dublin,  sons  of  Richard  Mather: 
pre-eminent  among  them  are  Increase  Mather's  "Kometo- 
pathi;  or  a  Discourse  Concerning  Comets,"  Boston,  1683, 
bound  by  Riviere:  Cotton  Mather's  "Memorable  Providences 


Relating  to  Witchcrafts  and  Possessions,"  Boston  1689,  and 
the  "Magnalia  Christi  Americana,"  London,  1702,  with  the 
original  map  and  list  of  books ;  two  copies  of  the  "  Parentator," 
and  other  rare  sermons  and  tracts,  all  beautifully  bound.  A 
volume  which  will  be  eagerly  sought  is  the  Massachusetts  Bay 
Acts  and  Laws,  1699-17 12.  This  is  the  first  revision  of  the 
Province  Laws,  of  which  Ames  and  Goodell  wrote  in  1869: 
"The  editions  of  1699  and  17 14  are  among  the  rarest  of  rare 
books  and  the  copies  of  them  now  extant  are  usually  without 
the  supplements." 

There  are  certain  books  which  may  properly  be  described 
as  the  foundation  stones  of  New  England  history.  Most  impor- 
tant collections  of  Americana  contain  one  or  more  of  them. 
Rarely  is  a  library  to  be  found  which  has  so  many  as  this. 
There  is  a  clean  and  large  copy  of  Thomas  Lechford's  "Plain 
Dealing,  Or,  News  from  New-England,"  written  by  the  first 
lawyer  in  Boston,  and  printed  in  London,  in  1642,  beautifully 
bound  by  Riviere  &  Son.  Le  Clercq's  "Nouvelle  Relation," 
Lyons,  1692,  is  the  Pratt  copy,  with  four  extra  contemporary 
drawings,  bound  by  Champs.  John  Josselyn's  "Account  of 
Two  Voyages  to  New  England,"  London,  1674,  is  the  original 
edition  with  the  license  leaf.  Edward  Johnson's  "Wonder- 
working Providence,"  as  his  history  of  New  England,  printed 
in  London,  in  1654,  is  commonly  called,  is  bound  by  Otto 
Zahn  of  Toof  &  Company  in  raspberry-colored  mirror  levant 
morocco  extra  with  inside  borders  and  gilt  edges.  There  are 
two  Jesuit  Relations,  original  editions.  One  is  Lallemant's, 
of  1648,  Vjound  by  David,  the  Pratt  copy.  This  rare  book  con- 
tains an  account  of  Pere  Druillette's  visit  to  Boston.  The 
other  is  Vimont's,  of  1643,  bound  by  Riviere.  A  scarce  work 
is  Jonathan  Parsons'  "Good  News  from  a  Far  Country," 
Portsmouth,  1756.  A  note  by  the  late  owner  states  that  this 
was  the  first  book  jjrinted  in  New  Hampshire.  Thomas 
Prince's  "Chronological  History  of  New  England,"  Boston, 
1736,  is  a  fine  copy  with  the  list  of  subscribers.  Samuel  Hop- 
kins' "  Housatunnuk  Indians  "  is  one  of  the  rarest  works  relat- 


ing  to  New  England.  It  is  not  mentioned  in  Fields'  or  Filling's 
Indian  bibliographies,  and  the  last  copy  sold  was  the  Balcom, 
which  brought  S78.00.  This  copy  is  in  full  crimson  levant 
with  inside  borders  by  the  Club  Bindery. 

Lescarbot's  "  Histoire  de  la  Nouvelle  France,"  Paris  1609, 
is  the  first  edition  with  the  genuine  maps,  bound  by  Cham- 
bolle  Duru  in  full  crimson  crushed  levant.  A  copy  of  this  was 
recently  in  a  New  York  catalogue  at  $335.  There  is  an  Am- 
sterdam edition  of  Montanus,  printed  in  1675,  much  scarcer 
than  the  Dutch  original,  and  containing  many  more  plates 
than  the  Menzies  copy.  One  of  the  rarest  of  books  relating 
to  New  England  history  is  Mason's  "  Brief  History  of  the 
Pequot  War,"  Boston,  1736,  edited  by  Thomas  Prince  from 
the  original  manuscript  of  Major  Mason.  Mr.  Hollingsworth 
had  the  Balcom  copy  which  brought  $445,  and  had  it  put  in 
a  full  black  crushed  levant  binding  by  the  Club  Bindery. 
Penhallow's  "Indian  Wars,"  printed  by  T.  Fleet  in  1726,  is 
among  the  rarest  of  New  England  imprints.  The  Ives  copy 
brought  $100  and  the  Brinley  copy  $130.  This  copy,  which 
has  the  first  page  of  text  in  exact  facsimile,  has  an  autograph 
note  of  Samuel  Penhallow  inserted.  Here  is  the  Deane  copy 
of  Purchas'  Microcosmus,  London,  1619.  The  "Journals  of 
Major  Robert  Rogers,"  London,  1765,  is  the  Gerald  E.  Hart 
copy  of  the  first  edition,  with  the  unnumbered  leaf  of  adver- 
tisements, bound  by  Larkins. 

James  Adair's  "History  of  the  American  Indians,"  pub- 
lished in  London  in  1775,  is  a  fine,  original  copy  in  contem- 
porary binding.  The  American  Military  Pocket  Atlas,  Lon- 
don, 1776,  is  immaculate  and  contains  the  six  folding  maps 
in  perfect  condition.  As  there  were  no  American  maps  of 
value  at  the  time  of  the  Revolution,  the  operations  of  the 
British  campaign  were  largely  based  on  these,  which  were 
made  by  D.  E.  Brahm,  Romans,  Cook,  Jackson  and  Collett, 
Major  Holland  and  other  officers.  Isaac  Backus's  "History 
of  New  England  with  Particular  Reference  to.  .  .  Baptists," 
printed  in  Boston  in  1777,  reprinted  in  Providence  in  1784, 


is  here  in  the  original  edition.  Here  is  one  of  the  five  copies 
of  the  Cambridge,  1 862 ,  reprint  of  the  Bay  Psalm  Book,  printed 
on  India  paper  and  richly  bound  in  full  crimson  crushed  levant 
morocco,  with  a  wide  double  of  blue  levant.  Beverly's  "His- 
tory of  Virginia,"  London,  1722,  is  a  fine  clean  copy,  magnifi" 
cently  bound  by  Otto  Zahn  in  mirror  brown  levant  morocco. 
Pishey  Thompson's  "History  and  Antiquities  of  Boston," 
relates  to  "  our  old  home,"  and  is  an  uncut  cop5^  Charlevoix's 
"Journal  of  a  Voyage  to  North  America"  is  the  English  edi- 
tion of  1 761,  with  the  folded  map  untorn.  Colden's  "Five 
Indian  Nations"  is  the  original  London  edition  of  1747. 
Drayton's  "Memoirs  of  the  American  Revolution,"  Charles- 
ton, 182 1,  is  a  clean,  uncut  copy  with  a  rare  portrait  of  the 
author  inserted.  Esquemeling's  "  Bucaniers  of  America," 
London,  1684-85,  is  the  Barlow  copy  with  a  fine  impression  of 
the  portrait  of  Sir  Henry  Morgan,  often  missing.  Gordon's 
"History  ...  of  the  Independence  of  the  United  States 
of  America,"  London,  1788,  is  the  original  edition.  Heath's 
"Life  of  a  Soldier,"  London,  1823,  is  a  fine  clean  copy,  one  of 
the  rarest  of  colored-plate  books.  No  copy  has  appeared  in 
this  country  at  auction  for  many  years.  There  is  a  copy  of 
the  rare  Paris  issue  of  Thomas  Jefferson's  "  Notes  on  the  State 
of  Virginia,"  1782,  it  is  the  C.  Fiske  Harris  copy,  bought  by 
Sabin  for  him  in  1873,  for  $85.  Captain  John  Knox's  "His- 
torical Journal  of  the  Campaigns  in  North  America,"  London. 
1769,  is  complete  with  the  map  and  portraits  of  Wolfe  and 
Amherst.  Captain  Bernard  Roman's  "East  and  West 
Florida,"  New  York,  1775,  is  complete  as  published;  with  six 
engraved  plates  by  the  author,  inscribed  to  "Honble  John 
Hancock,  Esqr.  for  Harvard  College."  A  "Topographical 
Description  of  the  State  of  Ohio,"  Boston,  181 2,  has  the  plate 
engraved  by  Carter,  showing  Cincinnati  us  a  hamlet  of  aliout 
forty  houses  and  one  churcli.  The  Hollingsworth  copy  of  the 
"Narrative  of  Lieutenant-Gen.  Sir  John  Clinton,"  London, 
1783,  is  extra  illustrated  by  the  insertion  of  thirteen  plates  and 
portraits  including  an  etched  portrait  of  Washington,  mezzo- 
tint of  Lafayette  and  Sir  Henry  Clintc)n  by  Bartolozzi. 


Tracts  and  pamphlets  of  historical  interest  are  many. 
The  Deane  copy  of  Rev.  William  Hubbard's  election  sermon, 
May  3,  1675,  fomid  its  way  into  this  library.  This  is  one  of 
the  early  books  printed  by  John  Foster,  the  first  printer  of 
Boston.  He  printed  two  in  1675,  and  four  in  1676,  two  of 
them  after  this  one.  Mary  Rowlandson's  Narrative,  Boston, 
1720,  is  handsomely  bound  by  Riviere.  John  Norton's  "Abel 
Being  Dead  Yet  Speaketh,"  London,  1658,  is  the  life  of  the 
most  eminent  New  England  clergyman  of  his  time  (John 
Cotton)  by  his  successor  in  position  and  influence.  A  very 
rare  tract  is  Samuel  Willard's  "  Ne  Sutor  Ultra  Crepidam," 
Boston,  1681,  written  in  reply  to  Russel's  "Brief  Narrative." 
Of  association  interest  is  Bishop  Burnet's  sermon,  S.  Green, 
Boston,  1689,  with  the  autograph  of  Thomas  Prince.  A  fine 
copy  of  Tate  and  Brady's  Psalms,  Boston,  1754,  with  sixteen 
pages  of  engraved  music  is  an  edition  not  mentioned  by 
O'Callaghan  or  Wright.  The  London,  1604,  edition  of  "The 
Whole  Booke  of  Psalms,"  a  predecessor  of  the  Bay  Psalm 
Book,  has  the  music  printed  throughout  the  text.  So  many 
are  the  scarce  volumes  in  the  department  of  Americana  that 
mention  can  only  be  made  by  title  of: 

Talifer's  "Georgia,"  Charles-Town,  1741,  original  edition; 
Hazard's  "Historical  Collections,"  Philadelphia,  1792-94;  the 
Hutchinson  and  Qliver  Letters,  Edes  &  Gill,  1773 ;  Heriot's 
"Travels  Through  the  Canadas,"  London,  1807;  Hayward's 
"Tennessee,"  Knoxville,  1823;  Keith's  "History  of  the  British 
Plantations  in  America,"  London,  1738;  Experience  May- 
hew's  "Indian  Converts,"  London,  1727;  Proud's  "History 
of  Pennsylvania,"  1797;  Smith's  "History  of  Nova  Caesaria," 
Burlington,  1765;  C.  Stedman's  "American  War,"  London, 
1794,  exceptionally  fine;  Trumbull's  "Connecticut,"  New 
Haven,  1818;  Vincent's  "Delaware,"  Philadelphia,  1870;  and 
Young's  "Chronicles,"  both  of  the  Pilgrim  Fathers  and  First 
Planters,  Boston,  1841-46. 


EARLY  PRINTED  Ai\D  ILLUSTRATED  BOOKS. 
Early  printing  and  the  classics  have  not  been  overlooked 
in  this  magnificent  library.  A  small  quarto  in  old  Italian 
boards  Bartolomeo  of  Cremona,  1472,  has  a  fine  illuminated 
initial.  The  publisher  was  Nicolao  Truno  of  Venice,  and  this 
was  Bartolomeo's  first  book  (Proctor  4221 :  Coppinger  4426). 
One  of  the  choicest  specimens  of  Erhart  Ratdolt's  press, 
printed  at  Augsburg  in  1490  is  Publicius'  "Ars  Oratoria  Ars 
Epistolandi,"  a  very  rare  work  in  black  letter,  with  curious 
woodcuts,  to  which  Dibdin  devoted  fourteen  pages  of  the 
Bibliotheca  Spenceriana.  A  curious  book  of  emblems  with 
plates  by  Johannes  Theodori  de  Bry,  161 7,  has  fifty  plates 
and  fifty  fugues  with  music.  This  is  a  fine  copy  of  an  exces- 
sively rare  alchemical  work,  from  the  Brayton  Ives  collection 
(No.  613).  Among  the  classics  are  the  Amsterdam  edition 
of  Lucretius,  1754,  with  brilliant  impressions  of  the  Eisen 
plates  and  bound  by  Chambolle-Duru;  Ovid's  Metamorphoses 
with  the  Eisen  plates  printed  in  Paris  in  1767;  Tasso's 
"Jerusalem  Delivered,"  with  Le  Roy's  plates,  printed  at 
Paris  in  1771,  and  Ariosto's  "Orlando  Furioso,"  Venice,  1584, 
with  brilliant  impressions  of  the  numerous  copper  plates  and 
in  a  most  magnificent  binding  by  Chambolle-Duru.  "Clio 
and  Euterpe,"  London,  1762,  is  a  fine  copy  of  an  exceedingly 
rare  book  of  engraved  songs.  A  Book  of  Hours  printed  on 
vellum  in  Gothic  type,  with  the  calendar,  is  the  Dawson  Tur- 
ner copy  of  Simon  a  Voste,  Paris,  1498.  There  are  many  fine 
and  curious  designs  in  the  borders. 

RARE  CHRONICLES. 

In  early  chronicles  the  library  is  rich.  One  of  the  great- 
est rarity  is  the  black  letter  edition  of  Froissart's  "Chronycles 
of  Englande,"  etc.,  printed  by  William  Myddleton  and 
Rycharde  Pynson,  1525.  The  Perkins  copy  of  this  rarity 
brought  S480  and  the  Corser  copy  $475.  A  \-ery  rare  chronicle 
is  Bossiana's,  printed  at  Milan  in  1492,  and  bound  in  incn'occo 
extra  by   Bedford.     Pickering's  reprint   of   the  Chronicle  of 


Master  Wace,  London,  1837,  bound  by  Riviere,  has  a  duplicate 
set  of  fifty  colored  plates  inserted.  Cooper's  Chronicle,  in 
black  letter,  printed  at  London  in  1560,  gives  the  credit  for 
the  foundation  of  printing  to  Faust.  The  Hollingsworth  copy 
is  bound  by  Bedford  in  full  antique  crushed  levant,  blind  and 
gold-tooled  in  panels,  gilt  on  rough  edges.  The  gem  of  the 
collection  in  this  line,  however,  is  a  fine  copy  of  the  Nurem- 
burg  Chronicle  of  1493,  i^  the  original  oak  boards,  covered 
with  stamped  pigskin,  with  clasps.  This  has  not  only  the 
scarce  map  at  the  end,  but  the  cut  of  Pope  Joan  and  her  baby, 
generally  either  destroyed  by  cutting  out  or  by  erasure. 
This  German  edition  is  the  great  picture  book  of  the  Middle 
Ages,  with  2250  woodcuts  by  Wolgemuth  and  Pleydenwufl". 
This  was  the  Gerald  E.  Hart  copy. 

ENGLISH  FIRST  EDITIONS. 

In  English  first  editions  the  gem  is  undoubtedly  the  copy 
of  "The  Germ,"  that  short-lived  organ  of  the  Pre-Raphaelite 
Brotherhood  issued  in  London  in  1859,  to  the  four  numbers 
of  which  Dante  Gabriel  Rossetti  contributed  his  first  writings. 
William  P.  Rossetti  was  the  editor  and  Christina  Rossetti, 
Ford  Madox  Brown,  Coventry  Patmore  and  others  were  con- 
tributors. The  Hollingsworth  copy  is  the  original  issue  with 
all  the  covers  and  advertisements  bound  in.  It  was  bound  by 
Cobden-Sanderson  at  the  Doves  Bindery,  in  olive  green  mo- 
rocco, tooled  with  lilies,  full  gilt  back,  gilt  on  uncut  leaves. 
The  French  copy  in  parts,  with  Rossetti's  autograph,  brought 
$975  in  1 90 1.  There  is  a  fine  line  of  Charles  Lamb  items, 
including  an  exceptionally  tall  copy  of  the  "Tales  from 
Shakspeare,"  beautifully  bound  by  Zaehnsdorf,  in  green 
crushed  levant  extra,  inside  gold  borders,  with  gilt  edges. 
Fine  copies  are  exceeding  rare,  and  the  French  copy  brought 
$300.  There  is  a  collected  set  of  the  works  of  John  Heneage 
Jesse,  in  three-quarters,  crimson  crushed  levant,  by  Riviere, 
and  a  set  of  the  first  editions  of  Mrs.  Jameson,  bound  by  the 
Club   Bindery.     Young's   "Night   Thoughts,"    1797,   has  the

sold.  Coleridge's  "Sibylline  Leaves,"  is  an  uncut  copy  pre- 
sented to  Henry  Hope  Reed,  by  Durwent  Coleridge,  and  bound

Dr.  Syntax,"  bound  by  Zaehnsdorf,  the  "  Dance  of  Life,"  by 
Sanford,  and  the  "History  of  Johnny  Quae  Genus,"  by  Lar- 
kins,  all  with  the  colored  plates  by  Rowlandson.  There  are 
many  Dickens  items,  including  the  "Memoirs  of  Joseph 
Grimaldi"  with  the  Cruikshank  illustrations,  magnificently 
bound  by  Roger  de  Coverly.  The  French  copy  brought  $70. 
The  Pierce  Egan's  "Life  in  London,"  is  bound  by  Tout  and 
has  the  Cruikshank  plates.  Fitzgerald's  "Rubaiyat,"  now  of 
timely  interest  on  account  of  the  centenary  of  its  translator, 
is  the  F.  W.  French  copy  of  the  third  edition,  which  brought 
$80  at  that  sale.  Its  handsome  binding  is  by  Zaehnsdorf. 
Hamerton's  "  Etching  and  Etchers  "  is  the  first  edition  of  1868, 
with  the  original  etchings  by  Had  en,  Palmer,  Hamerton  and 
others.  The  "Memoirs  of  Count  Grammont,"  London,  1811, 
is  a  large  paper  copy  with  the  plates  all  marked  "proof," 
Smart's  translation  of  "Gil  Bias,"  1807,  is  a  beautiful  clean 
copy,  with  100  copper  plates.  Mrs.  Oliphant's  "Makers  of 
Florence,"  is  extra  illustrated  with  a  fine  series  of  photographs. 
Rogers's  "  Italy  "  and  "  Poems,"  with  the  steel  vignette  plates,

by  Cobd en-Sanderson.  Thackeray's  "Vanity  Fair,"  1848, 
has  the  suppressed  woodcut  of  the  Marquis  of  Steyne  on  ])age

Shelley's  "Prometheus  Unbound,"  both  the  first  edition  and 
bound  by  Riviere  and  the  Hamj)stea(l  Bindery  respectively. 
Swinburne's  "Atalanta  and  Calydon,"  is  in  an  inlaid  l)in(ling 
bv   Riviere,  and   other  items  in  the  same  class  arc  Carroll's.

1807,  in  a  contemporary  binding. 

AMERICAN  FIRST  EDITIONS. 
Of  American  first  editions  there  are  few,  but  these  are 
good  items.  The  copy  of  "The  Dial,"  Boston,  1841-44,  to 
which  Emerson,  Thoreau,  Channing,  Lowell  and  others  con- 
tributed, is  complete,  and,  as  it  should  be  with  the  original 
brown  wrappers.  Emerson's  "Society  and  Solitude,"  is  a 
presentation  copy  from  Emerson  to  E.  P.  Whipple,  with  mar- 
ginal notes  in  pencil.  A  rarity,  bound  by  Riviere  is  the  Poems 
of  Philip  Freneau,  "printed  at  the  press  of  the  author  at  Mt. 
Pleasant,  near  Middletown  Point,  1795,"  There  is  a  presenta- 
tion copy  of  Hawthorne's  "  Biographical  Stories  for  Children," 
Boston,  1842,  and  a  copy  of  "The  Gentle  Boy,"  with  the  origi- 
nal paper  wrappers  bound  in,  and  in  immaculate  condition 
except  for  a  few  fox  marks.  The  Holmes  items  include  the 
"Professor"  with  an  autograph  letter  to  E.  P.  Whipple,  laid 
in.  There  are  several  Longfellow  first  editions  and  among  the 
Lowell  items  are  a  clean  copy  of  the  Poems,  1849,  unopened, 
and  "Under  the  Willows,"  1869,  bound  by  Roger  de  Coverly, 
in  a  unique  binding  with  an  autograph  inscription  by  the 
binder.  This  is  the  F.  W.  French  copy.  Other  first  editions 
in  original  bindings  are  Poe's  "Al  Aaraaf,"  1829;  Mrs.  Stowe's 
"Uncle  Tom's  Cabin,"  Thoreau's  "Walden"  and  Whitman's 
"Leaves  of  Grass." 

EARLY  ENGLISH  LITERATURE. 
Early  English  literature  was  a  field  of  collecting  which 
appealed  to  Mr.  Hollingsworth,  and  many  years  ago  he  began 
to  gather  these  masterpieces.  The  first  edition  of  Ben  Jonson's 
works  is  in  an  extremely  rate  state,  the  first  issue  of  the  three 
parts  hardly  ever  being  found  together.     Collations  of  copies 


vary,  this  one  following  that  given  by  Mr.  Hazlitt  in  his  Biblio- 
graphical Collection  and  Notes,  second  series,  1882.  Some- 
times a  copy  of  the  portrait  by  Vaughan  is  inserted,  but  does 
not  belong  to  this  first  edition,  as  at  the  date  of  issue  of  the 
first  part — 16 16 — Vaughan  was  only  seven  years  of  age.  The 
work  was  edited  by  Jonson  himself,  and  among  the  names  of 
the  principal  actors  appears  that  of  "Will:  Shakespeare." 
John  Florio's  translation  of  Montaigne,  1603,  contains  the  two 
rare  leaves  of  "  Errors  and  Omissions  "  at  the  end,  entirely  dif- 
ferent from  the  one  leaf  of  "Errors  and  Omissions"  at  the 
beginning.  This  work  is  of  decided  Shakspearean  interest, 
as  in  the  British  Museum  there  is  a  copy  bearing  his  autograph. 
It  is,  as  has  often  been  pointed  out,  the  only  book  which  we 
can  positively  say  formed  a  part  of  Shakspeare's  library. 
This  copy  also  contains  the  long  preliminary  poem  by  Samuel 
Daniel.  In  such  superb  condition  it  is  exceedingly  valuable, 
a  "wormed"  copy,  having  been  sold  at  Sotheby's  for  $380. 
Chaucer  is  represented  by  the  fourth  edition  of  his  works,  1561, 
in  black  letter  and  bound  by  Bedford.  This  is  the  McKee 
copy,  which  brought  $110.  Dear  old  Burton  is  present  in  a 
copy  of  "The  Anatomy  of  Melancholy,"  bound  by  Lortic 
Freres  and  in  perfect  condition.  The  McKee  copy  brought 
$200  and  the  Edwardes  copy  $250.  Of  Milton's  "Paradise 
Lost"  there  is  a  copy  of  the  first  edition  of  1668,  with  the 
fourth  title-page:  "Paradise  Regained,"  1671,  the  first  edition 
with  the  rare  license  leaf  before  the  title-page  and  the  last  leaf 
of  errata,  and  "Eikonoklastes,"  1649,  bound  by  Riviere. 
A  rare  book  is  Michael  Drayton's  "  Poly-Olbion,"  1622,  this 
being  one  of  the  few  copies  with  the  printed  title  to  each  part. 
A  copy  of  this  was  sold  in  i888  for  $163. 

A  little  old  black  letter  volume  printed  in  1550  is  "The 
Vision  of  Pierce  Plowman,"  bound  by  Sanford.  Sir  John 
Hayward's  "Life  and  Raigne  of  King  Edward  Sixt,"  London, 
1630,  has  brilliant  impressions  of  the  frontispiece  and  tlie  ])()r- 
trait  of  Hayward  engraved  by  Will  Pass.  A  famous  book  is 
Joannis  Geyler's  "Ship  of  Fools,"  the  Milan  edition  of  151 1, 


bound  by  Thompson.  This  very  curious  satire  on  the  follies 
of  the  times  has  been  eagerly  sought  by  collectors  since  1815, 
when  Edward's  copy  sold  for  $215.  Many  of  the  humorous 
woodcuts  have  xylographic  illustrations,  which  leads  collec- 
tors of  block  books  to  admit  this  printed  work  to  their  "cabi- 
nets." This  copy  contains  the  life  of  the  author,  which  is 
found  in  but  few  copies.  The  copy  of  Wither's  Emblems,  Lon- 
don, 1635,  is  the  Brayton  Ives,  No.  1088.  "Barclay  His 
Argenis"  is  the  second  edition  of  1636,  and  the  "Decameron" 
of  Boccaccio,  the  Italian  edition  of  1757,  with  the  brilliant 
plates  by  Gravelot,  Eisen,  Boucher  and  Cochin,  printed  in 
Paris,  although  dated  from  Lorudra.  Of  Rabelais  there  is  an 
Amsterdam  edition  of  1741,  bound  by  Derome  and  bought  at 
the  Gerald  E.  Hart  sale  for  $63.  John  Donne's  "Declaration 
of  that  Paradoxe,  or  Thesis  that  Self-Homicide  is  not  so  Natur- 
ally Sin  that  it  may  never  be  otherwise,"  London,  1648,  is 
bound  by  Zaehnsdorf,  and  his  "Poems"  of  1633,  the  French 
copy,  has  the  two  leaves,  "The  Printer  to  the  Understanders," 
which  are  often  missing. 

A  work  which  has  been  pronounced  the  "masterpiece  of 
the  eighteenth  century"  is  Dorat's  "Les  Baisers,"  The  Hague, 
1770,  with  the  Eisen  vignettes  and  bound  by  Emile  Rousselle. 
The  edition  of  Cervantes  is  that  printed  by  Joaquin  Ibana, 
Madrid,  1 780.  There  is  a  fine,  clean  copy  of  the  first  edition  of 
"Gulliver's  Travels,"  London,  1726,  bound  by  Riviere.  The 
Edinburgh  edition  of  Burns 's  "  Poems,  chiefly  in  the  Scottish 
Dialect,"  1787,  is  the  first  Edinburgh  edition.  The  French 
copy  brought  $80  in  1901.  There  are  also  first  editions  of 
Fielding's  "Tom  Jones,"  1749,  and  Smollett's  "Humphrey 
Clinker,"  1771,  the  latter  having  the  first  issue  of  the  first 
volume  misdated   1671. 

One  might  go  on  for  hours  describing  the  treasures  of  this 
library.  A  set  of  "The  Portfolio,"  edited  by  Hamerton,  is 
the  finest  English  art  periodical.  An  extra-illustrated  copy 
of  Scarron's  "  Comical  Romance  "  on  Japanese  vellum  is  bound 
by    Chambolle-Duru.     That    exquisite    volume,     Williams's 


"Sakoontala,"  with  its  colored  borders  heightened  with  gold, 
is  beautifully  bound  by  Zaehnsdorf.  A  set  of  Mosher's  "  Bibe- 
lot "  in  nine  volumes,  is  one  of  twelve  copies  on  Japan  vellum. 
Another  set  is  the  Bibliophiles  Contemporains,  which  rarely 
appears  in  the  American  market,  being  eagerly  seized  by 
French  collectors.  Irving  Lyons's  "Colonial  Furniture  of 
New  England"  is  now  out  of  print  and  scarce.  A  Japanese 
vellum  copy  of  Garrett's  "Elizabethan  Songs"  is  one  of 
twenty-five  so  printed,  extra  illustrated  with  a  water-color 
drawing  of  Windsor  Castle,  with  thirty-three  other  water 
colors  by  Garrett,  and  bound  at  the  Doves  Bindery  by  Cobd en 
Sanderson.  The  Vale  Press  Shakspeare,  in  thirty-nine 
volumes,  is  another  worthy  of  note,  having  become  scarce 
before  the  publication  was  finished.  G.  H.   S.

FROM  THE  BOSTON  TRANSCRIPT,  APRIL  7,  1909 


HOLLINGSWORTH  LIBRARY 


BOOKS  OF  THE  LATE  AMOR  L.  HOLLINGSWORTH 
TO  BE  DISPERSED. 

A  Magnificent  Collection  Gathered  by  a  Booklover — Some  Not- 
able Nuggets  of  New  England  History,  Including   Early 
Massachusetts  Laws,  Ranked  Among  the  Rarest  of  Rare 
Books — Early  Printing  and  the  Classics  Not  Overlooked — 
(A  Early   Chronicles,    Including  the   Nuremberg  of   1493 — 

I  Many  Scarce  Books  in  English  First  Editions. 


The  large  number  of  books  which  the  late  Amor  L.  HolHngs- 
worth  of  Milton,  gathered  in  the  course  of  a  long  and  useful 
life  form  both  a  library  and  a  collection.  Mr.  Hollingsworth 
was  a  collector  of  the  same  type  as  the  late  Frederick  W. 
French,  the  dispersal  of  whose  library  in  1901  is  one  of  the 
great  milestones  in  the  history  of  book  auctions.  But  at  the 
N^same  time  he  was  a  reader,  interested  not  only  in  the  great 
A^  rarities,  but  in  literature  in  its  l:)road  sense,  making  a  library 
for  himself  and  those  who  surrounded  him.  I'^ortunatcly  he 
began  years  ago  when  many  of  the  prizes  of  to-day  had  not 
been  locked  up  forever  in  public  libraries,  and  after  be  became 


4*.    .jM^iey^y  f- 


interested  in  literature  and  book  collecting,  some  of  the  great 
private  libraries — the  Brinley,  Barlow,  Ives,  Menzies,  French, 
McKee  and  others — came  into  the  market  and  afforded  Mr. 
Hollingsworth  an  opportunity  to  enrich  his  library  and  collec- 
tion with  works  which  are  the  envy  of  the  bibliophile.  To 
his  appreciation  of  the  best  in  literature  he  added  a  love  of 
fine  bindings  and  of  fine  engravings.  A  history  of  the  art  of 
engraving  from  the  earliest  times  to  the  present,  illustrated  by 
the  best  examples  of  masters,  may  be  found  in  his  splendid 
collection,  now  to  be  dispersed.  Many  of  his  books  were  selected 
with  reference  to  this  point,  and  while  he  was  not  an  extra- 
illustrator  in  the  common  sense  of  that  word,  he  had  some 
magnificent  books  of  this  class.  Early  in  his  career  as  a  col- 
lector he  became  affiliated  with  many  of  the  best  book  pub- 
lishing clubs,  and  almost  up  to  the  time  of  his  death  he  retained 
a  lively  interest  in  the  Club  of  Odd  Volumes  of  this  city,  the 
Grolier  Club  of  New  York,  Caxton  Club  of  Chicago,  and  others. 
He  did  not  neglect  to  obtain  original  issues  of  the  most  famous 
of  modern  presses  and  his  sporting  books  have  already  been 
described  in  the  Bibliographer  column  of  the  Transcript. 

That  this  magnificent  library  is  to  be  sold  by  auction, 
may  come  as  a  surprise  to  some,  but  Mr.  Hollingsworth  felt 
that  as  others  in  the  family  had  libraries  of  their  own,  his 
treasures,  at  his  death,  should  be  dispersed  in  order  that  others 
might  have  the  same  opportunity  he  had  and  feel  the  same 
pleasure  he  felt  in  the  acquisition  of  rare  books  offered  in 
auction  sales. 

RARE  AMERICANA. 
This  library  is  rich  in  Rare  Americana,  there  are  no 
less  than  twenty-one  Mathers,  for  instance,  with  some  of  the 
great  rarities.  There  are  not  only  the  writings  of  Increase, 
Richard,  Cotton  and  Samuel  Mather,  but  of  Nathaniel  of 
London,  and  Samuel  of  Dublin,  sons  of  Richard  Mather: 
pre-eminent  among  them  are  Increase  Mather's  "  Kometo- 
pathi;  or  a  Discourse  Concerning  Comets,"  Boston,  1683, 
bound  by  Riviere:  Cotton  Mather's  "Memorable  Providences 


Relating  to  Witchcrafts  and  Possessions,"  Boston  1689,  and 
the  "Magnalia  Christi  Americana,"  London,  1702,  with  the 
original  map  and  list  of  books ;  two  copies  of  the  "  Parentator," 
and  other  rare  sermons  and  tracts,  all  beautifully  bound.  A 
volume  which  will  be  eagerly  sought  is  the  Massachusetts  Bay 
Acts  and  Laws,  1699-1712.  This  is  the  first  revision  of  the 
Province  Laws,  of  which  Ames  and  Good  ell  wrote  in  1869: 
"The  editions  of  1699  and  17 14  are  among  the  rarest  of  rare 
books  and  the  copies  of  them  now  extant  are  usually  without 
the  supplements." 

There  are  certain  books  which  may  properly  be  described 
as  the  foundation  stones  of  New  England  history.  Most  impor- 
tant collections  of  Americana  contain  one  or  more  of  them. 
Rarely  is  a  library  to  be  found  which  has  so  many  as  this. 
There  is  a  clean  and  large  copy  of  Thomas  Lechford's  "Plain 
Dealing,  Or,  News  from  New-England,"  written  by  the  first 
lawyer  in  Boston,  and  printed  in  London,  in  1642,  beautifully 
bound  by  Riviere  &  Son.  Le  Clercq's  "Nouvelle  Relation," 
Lyons,  1692,  is  the  Pratt  copy,  with  four  extra  contemporary 
drawings,  bound  by  Champs.  John  Josselyn's  "Account  of 
Two  Voyages  to  New  England,"  London,  1674,  is  the  original 
edition  with  the  license  leaf.  Edward  Johnson's  "Wonder- 
Working  Providence,"  as  his  history  of  New  England,  printed 
in  London,  in  1654,  is  commonly  called,  is  bound  by  Otto 
Zahn  of  Toof  &  Company  in  raspberry-colored  mirror  levant 
morocco  extra  with  inside  borders  and  gilt  edges.  There  are 
two  Jesuit  Relations,  original  editions.  One  is  Lallemant's, 
of  1648,  bound  by  David,  the  Pratt  copy.  This  rare  book  con- 
tains an  account  of  Pcre  Druillette's  visit  to  Boston.  The 
other  is  Vimont's,  of  1643,  bound  by  Riviere.  A  scarce  work 
is  Jonathan  Parsons'  "Good  News  from  a  Far  Country," 
Portsmouth,  1756.  A  note  by  the  late  owner  states  that  this 
was  the  first  book  printed  in  New  IIam])shire.  Thomas 
Prince's  "Chronological  History  of  New  England,"  Boston, 
1736,  is  a  fine  copy  with  the  list  of  subscribers.  Samuel  Hop- 
kins' "  Housatunnuk  Indians  "  is  one  of  the  rarest  works  rclat- 


ing  to  New  England.  It  is  not  mentioned  in  Fields'  or  Filling's 
Indian  bibliographies,  and  the  last  copy  sold  was  the  Balcom, 
which  brought  $78.00.  This  copy  is  in  full  crimson  levant 
with  inside  borders  by  the  Club  Bindery. 

Lescarbot's  "Histoire  de  la  Nouvelle  France,"  Paris  1609, 
is  the  first  edition  with  the  genuine  maps,  bound  by  Cham- 
bolle  Duru  in  full  crimson  crushed  levant.  A  copy  of  this  was 
recently  in  a  New  York  catalogue  at  $335.  There  is  an  Am- 
sterdam edition  of  Montanus,  printed  in  1675,  much  scarcer 
than  the  Dutch  original,  and  containing  many  more  plates 
than  the  Menzies  copy.  One  of  the  rarest  of  books  relating 
to  New  England  history  is  Mason's  "  Brief  History  of  the 
Pequot  War,"  Boston,  1736,  edited  by  Thomas  Prince  from 
the  original  manuscript  of  Major  Mason.  Mr.  Hollingsworth 
had  the  Balcom  copy  which  brought  $445,  and  had  it  put  in 
a  full  black  crushed  levant  binding  by  the  Club  Bindery. 
Penhallow's  "Indian  Wars,"  printed  by  T.  Fleet  in  1726,  is 
among  the  rarest  of  New  England  imprints.  The  Ives  copy 
brought  Si 00  and  the  Brinley  copy  Si 30.  This  copy,  which 
has  the  first  page  of  text  in  exact  facsimile,  has  an  autograph 
note  of  Samuel  Penhallow  inserted.  Here  is  the  Deane  copy 
of  Purchas'  Microcosmus,  London,  16 19.  The  "Journals  of 
Major  Robert  Rogers,"  London,  1765,  is  the  Gerald  E.  Hart

tisements, bound  by  Larkins. 

James  Adair's  "History  of  the  American  Indians,"  pub- 
lished in  London  in  1775,  is  a  fine,  original  copy  in  contem- 
porary binding.  The  American  Military  Pocket  Atlas,  Lon- 
don, 1776,  is  immaculate  and  contains  the  six  folding  maps 
in  perfect  condition.  As  there  were  no  American  maps  of 
value  at  the  time  of  the  Revolution,  the  operations  of  the 
British  campaign  were  largely  based  on  these,  which  were 
made  by  D.  E.  Brahm,  Romans,  Cook,  Jackson  and  Collett, 
Major  Holland  and  other  officers.  Isaac  Backus's  "History 
of  New  England  with  Particular  Reference  to.  .  .  Baptists," 
printed  in  Boston  in  1777,  reprinted  in  Providence  in  1784, 


is  here  n  the  original  edition.  Here  is  one  of  the  five  copies 
of  the  Cambridge,  1 862 ,  reprint  of  the  Bay  Psalm  Book,  printed 
on  India  paper  and  richly  bound  in  full  crimson  crushed  levant 
morocco,  with  a  wide  double  of  blue  levant.  Beverly's  "  His- 
tory of  Virginia,"  London,  1722,  is  a  fine  clean  copy,  magnifi- 
cently bound  by  Otto  Zahn  in  mirror  brown  levant  morocco. 
Pishey  Thompson's  "History  and  Antiquities  of  Boston," 
relates  to  "  our  old  home,"  and  is  an  uncut  copy.  Charlevoix's 
"Journal  of  a  Voyage  to  North  America"  is  the  English  edi- 
tion of  1761,  with  the  folded  map  untorn.  Colden's  "Five 
Indian  Nations"  is  the  original  London  edition  of  1747.

ton, 1 82 1,  is  a  clean,  uncut  copy  with  a  rare  portrait  of  the 
author  inserted.  Esquemeling's  "Bucaniers  of  America," 
London,  1684-85,  is  the  Barlow  copy  with  a  fine  impression  of 
the  portrait  of  Sir  Henry  Morgan,  often  missing.  Gordon's 
"  History  ...  of  the  Independence  of  the  United  States 
of  America,"  London,  1788,  is  the  original  edition.  Heath's 
"Life  of  a  Soldier,"  London,  1823,  is  a  fine  clean  copy,  one  of 
the  rarest  of  colored-plate  books.  No  copy  has  appeared  in 
this  country  at  auction  for  many  years.  There  is  a  copy  of 
the  rare  Paris  issue  of  Thomas  Jefferson's  "  Notes  on  the  State 
of  Virginia,"  1782,  it  is  the  C.  Fiske  Harris  copy,  bought  by

torical Journal  of  the  Campaigns  in  North  America,"  London, 
1769,  is  complete  with  the  map  and  portraits  of  Wolfe  and 
Amherst.  Captain  Bernard  Roman's  "East  and  West 
Florida,"  New  York,  1775,  is  complete  as  published;  with  six 
engraved  plates  by  the  author,  inscribed  to  "Honble  John 
Hancock,  Esqr.  for  Harvard  College."  A  "Topographical 
Description  of  the  State  of  Ohio,"  Boston,  1812,  has  tlic  plate 
engraved  by  Carter,  showing  Cincinnati  as  a  hamlet  of  about 
forty  houses  and  one  church.  The  Ilollingsworth  copy  of  tlie 
"Narrative  of  Lieutenant-Gen.  Sir  John  Clinton,"  Lomlon. 
1783,  is  extra  illustrated  by  the  insertion  of  thirteen  plates  and 
portraits  including  an  etched  portrait  of  Washington,  mezzo- 
tint of  Lafayette  and  Sir  Henry  Clinton  by  Bartolozzi. 


Tracts  and  pamphlets  of  historical  interest  are  many. 
The  Deane  copy  of  Rev.  William  Hubbard's  election  sermon, 
May  3,  1675,  found  its  way  into  this  library.  This  is  one  of 
the  early  books  printed  by  John  Foster,  the  first  printer  of 
Boston.  He  printed  two  in  1675,  and  four  in  1676,  two  of 
them  after  this  one.  Mary  Rowlandson's  Narrative,  Boston, 
1720,  is  handsomely  bound  by  Riviere.  John  Norton's  "Abel 
Being  Dead  Yet  Speaketh,"  London,  1658,  is  the  life  of  the 
most  eminent  New  England  clergyman  of  his  time  Qohn 
Cotton)  by  his  successor  in  position  and  influence.  A  very 
rare  tract  is  Samuel  Willard's  "Ne  Sutor  Ultra  Crepidam," 
Boston,  1681,  written  in  reply  to  Russel's  "Brief  Narrative." 
Of  association  interest  is  Bishop  Burnet's  sermon,  S.  Green, 
Boston,  1689,  with  the  autograph  of  Thomas  Prince.  A  fine 
copy  of  Tate  and  Brady's  Psalms,  Boston,  1754,  with  sixteen 
pages  of  engraved  music  is  an  edition  not  mentioned  by 
O'Callaghan  or  Wright.  The  London,  1604,  edition  of  "The 
Whole  Booke  of  Psalms,"  a  predecessor  of  the  Bay  Psalm 
Book,  has  the  music  printed  throughout  the  text.  So  many 
are  the  scarce  volumes  in  the  department  of  Americana  that 
mention  can  only  be  made  by  title  of:

Young's  "Chronicles,"  both  of  the  Pilgrim  Fathers  and  First 
Planters,  Boston,  1841-46. 


EARLY  PRINTED  AND  ILLUSTRATED  BOOKS. 
Early  printing  and  the  classics  have  not  been  overlooked 
in  this  magnificent  library.  A  small  quarto  in  old  Italian 
boards  Bartolomeo  of  Cremona,  1472,  has  a  fine  illuminated 
initial.  The  publisher  was  Nicolao  Truno  of  Venice,  and  this 
was  Bartolomeo's  first  book  (Proctor  4221 :  Coppinger  4426). 
One  of  the  choicest  specimens  of  Erhart  Ratdolt's  press, 
printed  at  Augsburg  in  1490  is  Publicius'  "Ars  Oratoria  Ars 
Epistolandi,"  a  very  rare  work  in  black  letter,  with  curious 
woodcuts,  to  which  Dibdin  devoted  fourteen  pages  of  the 
Bibliotheca  Spenceriana.  A  curious  book  of  emblems  with 
plates  by  Johannes  Theodori  de  Bry,  16 17,  has  fifty  plates 
and  fifty  fugues  with  music.  This  is  a  fine  copy  of  an  exces- 
sively rare  alchemical  work,  from  the  Brayton  Ives  collection 
(No.  613).  Among  the  classics  are  the  Amsterdam  edition 
of  Lucretius,  1754,  with  brilliant  impressions  of  the  Eisen 
plates  and  bound  by  Chambolle-Duru ;  Ovid's  Metamorphoses 
with  the  Eisen  plates  printed  in  Paris  in  1767;  Tasso's 
"Jerusalem  Delivered,"  with  Le  Roy's  plates,  printed  at 
Paris  in  1771,  and  Ariosto's  "Orlando  Furioso,"  Venice,  1584, 
with  brilliant  impressions  of  the  numerous  copper  plates  and 
in  a  most  magnificent  binding  by  Chambolle-Duru.  "Clio 
and  Euterpe,"  London,  1762,  is  a  fine  copy  of  an  exceedingly 
rare  book  of  engraved  songs.  A  Book  of  Hours  printed  on 
vellum  in  Gothic  type,  with  the  calendar,  is  the  Dawson  Tur- 
ner copy  of  Simon  a  Voste,  Paris,  1498.  There  are  many  fine 
and  curious  designs  in  the  borders. 

RARE  CHRONICLES. 

In  early  chronicles  the  library  is  rich.  One  of  the  great- 
est rarity  is  the  black  letter  edition  of  Froissart's  "Chronycles 
of  Englande,"  etc.,  printed  by  William  Myddleton  and 
Rycharde  Pynson,  1525.  The  Perkins  copy  of  this  rarity 
brought  $480  and  the  Corser  copy  S475.  ■'^  very  rare  chronicle 
is  Bossiana's,  printed  at  Milan  in  1492,  ant)  bound  in  morocco 
extra  by   Bedford.     Pickering's  reprint  of  the  Chronicle  of 


Master  Wace,  London,  1837,  bound  by  Riviere,  has  a  duplicate 
set  of  fifty  colored  plates  inserted.  Cooper's  Chronicle,  in 
black  letter,  printed  at  London  in  1560,  gives  the  credit  for 
the  foundation  of  printing  to  Faust.  The  Hollingsworth  copy 
is  bound  by  Bedford  in  full  antique  crushed  levant,  blind  and 
gold-tooled  in  panels,  gilt  on  rough  edges.  The  gem  of  the 
collection  in  this  line,  however,  is  a  fine  copy  of  the  Nurem- 
burg  Chronicle  of  1493,  i^  'the  original  oak  boards,  covered 
with  stamped  pigskin,  with  clasps.  This  has  not  only  the 
scarce  map  at  the  end,  but  the  cut  of  Pope  Joan  and  her  baby, 
generally  either  destroyed  by  cutting  out  or  by  erasure. 
This  German  edition  is  the  great  picture  book  of  the  Middle 
Ages,  with  2250  woodcuts  by  Wolgemuth  and  Pleydenwufl". 
This  was  the  Gerald  E.  Hart  copy. 

ENGLISH  FIRST  EDITIONS. 

In  English  first  editions  the  gem  is  undoubtedly  the  copy 
of  "The  Germ,"  that  short-lived  organ  of  the  Pre-Raphaelite 
Brotherhood  issued  in  London  in  1859,  to  the  four  numbers 
of  which  Dante  Gabriel  Rossetti  contributed  his  first  writings. 
William  P.  Rossetti  was  the  editor  and  Christina  Rossetti, 
Ford  Mad  ox  Brown,  Coventry  Patmore  and  others  were  con- 
tributors. The  Hollingsworth  copy  is  the  original  issue  with 
all  the  covers  and  advertisements  bound  in.  It  was  bound  by 
Cobd en-Sanderson  at  the  Doves  Bindery,  in  olive  green  mo- 
rocco, tooled  with  lilies,  full  gilt  back,  gilt  on  uncut  leaves. 
The  French  copy  in  parts,  with  Rossetti's  autograph,  brought 
$975  in  1901.  There  is  a  fine  line  of  Charles  Lamb  items, 
including  an  exceptionally  tall  copy  of  the  "Tales  from 
Shakspeare,"  beautifully  bound  by  Zaehnsdorf,  in  green 
crushed  levant  extra,  inside  gold  borders,  with  gilt  edges. 
Fine  copies  are  exceeding  rare,  and  the  French  copy  brought 
$300.  There  is  a  collected  set  of  the  works  of  John  Heneage 
Jesse,  in  three-quarters,  crimson  crushed  levant,  by  Riviere, 
and  a  set  of  the  first  editions  of  Mrs.  Jameson,  bound  by  the 
Club  Bindery.     Young's  "Night  Thoughts,"   1797,   has  the

plates.  Matthew  Arnold  items  include  "The  Strayed  Revel- 
ler," of  1849,  and  "Empedocles  on  Etna,"  1852,  both  of  which 
were  withdrawn  from  circulation  after  a  few  copies  had  been 
sold.  Coleridge's  "Sibylline  Leaves,"  is  an  uncut  copy  pre- 
sented to  Henry  Hope  Reed,  by  Durwent  Coleridge,  and  bound 
by  Zaehnsdorf.  The  Combe  items  are  the  three  "Tours  of 
Dr.  Syntax,"  bound  by  Zaehnsdorf,  the  "  Dance  of  Life,"  by 
Sanford,  and  the  "History  of  Johnny  Quae  Genus,"  by  Lar- 
kins,  all  with  the  colored  plates  by  Rowlandson.  There  are 
many  Dickens  items,  including  the  "Memoirs  of  Joseph 
Grimaldi"  with  the  Cruikshank  illustrations,  magnificently 
bound  by  Roger  de  Coverly.  The  French  copy  brought  $70. 
The  Pierce  Egan's  "Life  in  London,"  is  bound  by  Tout  and 
has  the  Cruikshank  plates.  Fitzgerald's  "Rubaiyat,"  now  of 
timely  interest  on  account  of  the  centenary  of  its  translator, 
is  the  F.  W.  French  copy  of  the  third  edition,  which  brought 
$80  at  that  sale.  Its  handsome  binding  is  by  Zaehnsdorf. 
Hamerton's  "  Etching  and  Etchers  "  is  the  first  edition  of  1868, 
with  the  original  etchings  by  Haden,  Palmer,  Hamerton  and

by  Cobd en-Sanderson.  Thackeray's  "Vanity  Fair,"  1848, 
has  the  suppressed  woodcut  of  the  Marquis  of  Steyne  on  page 
336,  and  is  bound  by  Root  &  Son.  There  are  two  copies  of 
Shelley's  "Prometheus  Unbound,"  both  the  first  edition  and

AMERICAN  FIRST  EDITIONS. 
Of  American  first  editions  there  are  few,  but  these  are 
good  items.  The  copy  of  "The  Dial,"  Boston,  1841-44,  to 
which  Emerson,  Thoreau,  Channing,  Lowell  and  others  con- 
tributed, is  complete,  and,  as  it  should  be  with  the  original 
brown  wrappers.  Emerson's  "Society  and  Solitude,"  is  a 
presentation  copy  from  Emerson  to  E.  P.  Whipple,  with  mar- 
ginal notes  in  pencil.  A  rarity,  bound  by  Riviere  is  the  Poems 
of  Philip  Freneau,  "printed  at  the  press  of  the  author  at  Mt. 
Pleasant,  near  Middletown  Point,  1795,"  There  is  a  presenta- 
tion copy  of  Hawthorne's  "  Biographical  Stories  for  Children," 
Boston,  1842,  and  a  copy  of  "The  Gentle  Boy,"  with  the  origi- 
nal paper  wrappers  bound  in,  and  in  immaculate  condition 
except  for  a  few  fox  marks.  The  Holmes  items  include  the 
"Professor"  with  an  autograph  letter  to  E.  P.  Whipple,  laid 
in.  There  are  several  Longfellow  first  editions  and  among  the 
Lowell  items  are  a  clean  copy  of  the  Poems,  1849,  unopened, 
and  "Under  the  Willows,"  1869,  bound  by  Roger  de  Coverly,

in  original  bindings  are  Poe's  "Al  Aaraaf,"  1829;  Mrs.  Stowe's 
"Uncle  Tom's  Cabin,"  Thoreau's  "Walden"  and  Whitman's 
"Leaves  of  Grass." 

EARLY  ENGLISH  LITERATURE. 
Early  English  literature  was  a  field  of  collecting  which 
appealed  to  Mr.  Hollingsworth,  and  many  years  ago  he  began 
to  gather  these  masterpieces.  The  first  edition  of  Ben  Jonson's 
works  is  in  an  extremely  rate  state,  the  first  issue  of  the  three 
parts  hardly  ever  being  found  together.     Collations  of  copies 


vary,  this  one  following  that  given  by  Mr.  Hazlitt  in  his  Biblio- 
graphical Collection  and  Notes,  second  series,  1882.  Some- 
times a  copy  of  the  portrait  by  Vaughan  is  inserted,  but  does 
not  belong  to  this  first  edition,  as  at  the  date  of  issue  of  the 
first  part — 16 16 — ^Vaughan  was  only  seven  years  of  age.  The 
work  was  edited  by  Jonson  himself,  and  among  the  names  of 
the  principal  actors  appears  that  of  "Will:  Shakespeare." 
John  Florio's  translation  of  Montaigne,  1603,  contains  the  two 
rare  leaves  of  "  Errors  and  Omissions"  at  the  end,  entirely  dif- 
ferent from  the  one  leaf  of  "Errors  and  Omissions"  at  the 
beginning.  This  work  is  of  decided  Shakspearean  interest, 
as  in  the  British  Museum  there  is  a  copy  bearing  his  autograph. 
It  is,  as  has  often  been  pointed  out,  the  only  book  which  we 
can  positively  say  formed  a  part  of  Shakspeare's  library. 
This  copy  also  contains  the  long  preliminary  poem  by  Samuel 
Daniel.  In  such  superb  condition  it  is  exceedingly  valuable, 
a  "wormed"  copy,  having  been  sold  at  Sotheby's  for  $380. 
Chaucer  is  represented  by  the  fourth  edition  of  his  works,  1561, 
in  black  letter  and  bound  by  Bedford.  This  is  the  McKee 
copy,  which  brought  $110.  Dear  old  Burton  is  present  in  a 
copy  of  "The  Anatomy  of  Melancholy,"  bound  by  Lortic 
Fr^res  and  in  perfect  condition.  The  McKee  copy  brought 
S200  and  the  Edwardes  copy  $250.  Of  Milton's  "Paradise 
Lost"  there  is  a  copy  of  the  first  edition  of  1668,  with  the 
fourth  title-page:  "Paradise  Regained,"  1671,  the  first  edition 
with  the  rare  license  leaf  before  the  title-page  and  the  last  leaf 
of  errata,  and  "Eikonoklastes,"  1649,  bound  by  Riviere. 
A  rare  book  is  Michael  Drayton's  "Poly-Olbion,"  1622,  this 
being  one  of  the  few  copies  with  the  printed  title  to  each  part. 
A  copy  of  this  was  sold  in  1888  for  $163. 

A  little  old  black  letter  volume  printed  in  1550  is  "The 
Vision  of  Pierce  Plowman,"  bound  by  Sanford.  Sir  John 
Ha3rward's  "  Life  and  Raigne  of  King  Edward  Si.xt,  "  London, 
1630,  has  brilliant  impressions  of  the  frontispiece  and  the  ])or- 
trait  of  Playward  engraved  by  Will  Pass.  A  famous  book  is 
Joannis  Geylcr's  "Ship  of  Fools,"  the  Milan  cdili<;n  of  1511. 


bound  by  Thompson.  This  very  curious  satire  on  the  follies 
of  the  times  has  been  eagerly  sought  by  collectors  since  1815, 
when  Edward's  copy  sold  for  $2 15.  Many  of  the  humorous 
woodcuts  have  xylographic  illustrations,  which  leads  collec- 
tors of  block  books  to  admit  this  printed  work  to  their  "cabi- 
nets." This  copy  contains  the  life  of  the  author,  which  is 
found  in  but  few  copies.  The  copy  of  Wither's  Emblems,  Lon- 
don, 1635,  is  the  Brayton  Ives,  No.  1088.  "Barclay  His 
Argenis"  is  the  second  edition  of  1636,  and  the  "Decameron" 
of  Boccaccio,  the  Italian  edition  of  1757,  with  the  brilliant 
plates  by  Gravelot,  Eisen,  Boucher  and  Cochin,  printed  in 
Paris,  although  dated  from  Londra.  Of  Rabelais  there  is  an 
Amsterdam  edition  of  1741,  bound  by  Derome  and  bought  at 
the  Gerald  E.  Hart  sale  for  $63.  John  Donne's  "Declaration 
of  that  Paradoxe,  or  Thesis  that  Self-Homicide  is  not  so  Natur- 
ally Sin  that  it  may  never  be  otherwise,"  London,  1648,  is 
boiuid  by  Zaehnsdorf,  and  his  "Poems"  of  1633,  the  French 
copy,  has  the  two  leaves,  "The  Printer  to  the  Understanders," 
which  are  often  missing. 

A  work  which  has  been  pronounced  the  "masterpiece  of 
the  eighteenth  century"  is  Dorat's  "Les  Baisers,"  The  Hague, 
1770,  with  the  Eisen  vignettes  and  bound  by  Emile  Rousselle. 
The  edition  of  Cervantes  is  that  printed  by  Joaquin  Ibana, 
Madrid,  1 780.  There  is  a  fine,  clean  copy  of  the  first  edition  of 
"Gulliver's  Travels,"  London,  1726,  bound  by  Riviere.  The 
Edinburgh  edition  of  Burns's  "Poems,  chiefly  in  the  Scottish 
Dialect,"  1787,  is  the  first  Edinburgh  edition.  The  French 
copy  brought  $80  in  1901.  There  are  also  first  editions  of 
Fielding's  "Tom  Jones,"  1749,  and  Smollett's  "Humphrey 
Clinker,"  1771,  the  latter  having  the  first  issue  of  the  first 
volume  misdated   167 1. 

One  might  go  on  for  hours  describing  the  treasures  of  this 
library.  A  set  of  "The  Portfolio,"  edited  by  Hamerton,  is 
the  finest  English  art  periodical.  An  extra-illustrated  copy 
of  Scarron's  "  Comical  Romance  "  on  Japanese  vellum  is  bound 
by    ChamboUe-Duru.     That    exquisite    volume,    Williams's 


"Sakoontala,"  with  its  colored  borders  heightened  with  gold, 
is  beautifully  bound  by  Zaehnsdorf .  A  set  of  Mosher's  "  Bibe- 
lot "  in  nine  volumes,  is  one  of  twelve  copies  on  Japan  vellum. 
Another  set  is  the  Bibliophiles  Contemporains,  which  rarely 
appears  in  the  American  market,  being  eagerly  seized  by 
French  collectors.  Irving  Lyons's  "Colonial  Furniture  of 
New  England"  is  now  out  of  print  and  scarce.  A  Japanese 
vellum  copy  of  Garrett's  "Elizabethan  Songs"  is  one  of 
twenty-five  so  printed,  extra  illustrated  with  a  water-color 
drawing  of  Windsor  Castle,  with  thirty-three  other  water 
colors  by  Garrett,  and  bound  at  the  Doves  Bindery  by  Cobd en 
Sanderson.  The  Vale  Press  Shakspeare,  in  thirty-nine 
volumes,  is  another  worthy  of  note,  having  become  scarce 
before  the  publication  was  finished.  G.  H.  S.

BARCLAY'S  SHIP  OF  FOOLS.

lated by  Alexander  Barclay,  (Sebastian  Brandt) .  Numerous 
illustrations.  Together  with  the  life  and  writings  of  Alexan- 
der Barclay,  with  a  bibliography  of  his  works.  2  vols.  4° 
full  calf,  gilt  backs,  uncut,  gilt  tops. 

William  Patterson:    Edinburgh,  1874 

The  design  of  this  curious  and  amusing  work  was  to  ridicule 
the  prevaihng  follies  and  vices  of  every  rank  and  profession,  under 
the  allegory  of  a  ship  freighted  with  fools ;  and  in  this  metrical  trans- 
lation Barclay  has  given  a  variety  of  characters  drawn  expressly  from 
his  own  countrymen,  and  added  his  advice  to  the  various  fools,  which 
possess  at  least  the  merit  of  good  sense  and  morality. 

The  Ship  of  Fooles  may  almost  be  reckoned  amongst  our  book 
of  emblems,  or  works  illustrated  with  engravings.  It  was  formerly 
held  in  high  estimation  and  was  one  of  the  most  popular  works  of 
the  age.

works  in  this  collection.  We  know  of  no  other  complete  set  in  any 
of  our  public  or  private  libraries."  Prof.  William  Smyth,  of  Harvard 
University,  says,  "it  contains,  in  the  most  concise  form,  the  most  able, 
impartial,  and  authentic  history  of  the  dispute  which  can  be  found. 
The  account  is  understood  to  have  been  drawn  up  by  Burke,  and  if  so 
(and  there  is  no  doubt  of  it),  the  arguments  on  each  side  are  dis- 
played with  an  impartiality  that  is  quite  admirable."

Apud  Gulielmum  Roullium:  Lugduni,  1548 

A  new  arrangement  of  the  emblems  has  here  been  introduced. 
It  seems  probable  that  it  was  first  formed  by  Aneau  for  this  1548 
edition,  but  in  the  French  version,  1549,  it  will  be  seen  completely 
developed,  and  with  a  few  slight  changes  it  was  soon  very  generally 
adopted.  The  wood  engravings,  entirely  new  in  1548,  with  editions 
as  they  could  be  prepared,  have  served  for  the  whole  series  of  editions, 
Latin,  French,  Spanish  and  Italian,  which  Roville  and  Bonhomnic 
issued  from  1548  to  1566.

der of  allegorical  figures.  To  each  page  there  is  a  border 
richly  ornamented.  12°  full  crimson  crushed  levant  mo- 
rocco, extra,  inside  gold  borders,  gilt  edges,  by  Belz-Niedr^. 

In  Lione  da  Gulielmo  Rovillio,  1549 
Title,  within  an  engraved  monumental  border  of  allegorical 

figures.     There  are   136  emblems  including  the  trees.     There  is  no 

Latin  text,  but  mottoes  and  stanzas  all  in  Italian.     Every  page  is 

within  a  fine  border. 

The  devices  from  blocks,  independent  of  the  borders,  are  136 

in  number  and  claim  the  same  parentage  as  the  others  of  the  Rovillian 

series,  namely,  Le  Petit  Bernard.

Small  4°  light  brown  crushed  levant  morocco,  extra,  blind 
and  gold  tooled,  gilt  edges,  by  F.  Bedford.     Bononiae,  1555 

Five  years  after  the  death  of  Alciati,  a  most  beautiful  book  of 
emblems  was  presented  to  the  world  by  another  eminent  Italian 
scholar,  Achille  Bocchi,  commonly  called  Philerote.  The  copper- 
plates comparatively  of  a  large  size,  are  engraved  by  the  celebrated 
artist  GuUio  Bonasone  after  designs  partly  by  himself  and  partly  by 
Bocchi,  aided  by  Parmigiano  and  Prospero  Fontana,  many  ideas 
being  taken  from  Michael  Angelo  and  Albert  Durer.  A  second  edition 
was  published  in  1574,  with  the  plates  retouched.  Both  editions  are 
scarce  and  much  prized.  Magnificent  tall  copy,  with  brilliant  impres- 
sions of  the  plates. 

Presentation  copy  from  Bocchi,  with  a  full  page  inscription 
on  the  reverse  of  the  dedication  page,  together  with  6  original  pen  and 
ink  drawings  by  Bocchi  added  at  the  end.

"His  Chronicle — which  is  one  of  the  most  enchanting  pictures  or 
picture  ever  devised  by  the  wit,  and  drawn  by  the  pen  of  man — 
depicts  the  campaign  of  Edward  III  upon  the  continent  and  con- 
temporaneous events  in  the  principal  countries  of  Europe." — Allibone. 

"It  cannot  be  denied  that  Froissart  has  admirably  described  the 
campaigns  of  our  Edward  upon  the  continent,  when  the  British  arms 
were  covered  with  glory;  when  a  spirit  of  chivalr}^  amounting  to  the 
romantic,  stirred  every  breast  and  nerved  every  arm.  The  splen- 
dours of  Crecy  and  Poictiers  are  but  sHghtly  shaded,  if  at  all,  by  the 
achievements  of  Agincourt  and  Waterloo." — Dihdin.

HAMOR'S  VIRGINIA. 

916  [HULSIUS.  VOYAGES.  Part  13  in  German.]

Virginia.  Engraving  on  title  and  4  plates.  Small  4°  crimson

Hanaw,  161 7 
The  events  related  in  this  part  contain  valuable  materials 
for  the  History  of  the  Settlement  of  Virginia.  In  1583  the  name  of 
Virginia  had  been  bestowed  by  Queen  Elizabeth  upon  that  part  of  the 
Continent  of  America,  with  which  the  name  and  fame  of  Sir  Walter 
Raleigh  is  so  intimately  connected.  The  colony,  planted  by  his 
exertions,  had  to  struggle  with  innumerable  difficulties,  Tvhich  rose 
to  such  magnitude  that  in  May  1610  it  was  resolved  to  abandon  the 
settlement,  a  resolution  which  but  for  the  interference  of  Lord  Dela- 
ware would  have  been  adopted.  "By  an  assiduous  attention  to  his 
duty,  and  a  happy  union  of  qualities  fitted  equally  to  inspire  esteem 
and  command  submission,  Lord  Delaware  succeeded  in  maintaining 
peace  and  good  order  in  the  Settlement, — in  awakening  a  spirit  of 
industry  and  alacrity  among  the  Colonists." — Asher.

KELMSCOTT  PRESS    PUBLICATIONS. 

The  Press  is  now  entirely  stopped,  and  the  whole  of  the  wood 
blocks  sent  to  the  British  Museum,  under  the  condition  that  they 
shall  not  be  used  for  the  space  of  loo  years.  This  proviso,  and  the 
fact  of  the  master-mind  and  also  one  of  his  most  able  illustrators  (the 
late  Sir  E.  Burne-Jones)  having  passed  away,  will  make  the  volumes 
issued  by  Morris  extremely  valuable.  Already  many  of  the  works 
have  increased  in  value  and  are  much  sought  for. 

These  publications  are  the  most  magnificent  specimens  of  the 
typographic  art  that  any  country  has  ever  produced,  and  stand  for 
all  that  is  luxurious,  artistic  and  beautiful.

Kelmscott  Press,   1896 

This  is  one  of  forty-eight  copies  bound  in  white  pigskin,  at  the 
Doves  Bindery,  by  Cobden-Sanderson,  from  the  designs  of  Wilham 
Morris. 

The  most  important  work  issued  by  the  Kelmscott  Press,  and 
the  master-piece  of  the  nineteenth  century. 

The  edition  was  quickly  subscribed  for  and  is  now  much  sought 
after  by  collectors. 

Only  425  copies  printed  and  issued  to  suVjscribers  at  £20.  each. 
The  Pierce  copy  bound  in  pigskin  like  the  above  brought  $875.  Years 
before  its  publication  Mr.  Morris  had  mentally  projected  an  edition 
of  Chaucer,  which  he  hoped  to  produce  in  black  letter  type  of  special 
design.  The  earlier  announcement  stated  that  the  work  would  con- 
tain about  60  designs  by  Sir  E.  Bume-Jones,  and  that  the  issue  would 
be  325  copiee,  but  later  a  circular  was  issued  to  the  effect  that  the 
number  of  illustrations  would  be  increased,  and  100  copies  added  to 
the  issue.  This  circular  gave  subscribers  the  option  of  cancelling 
their  orders,  but  orders  were  not  withdrawn,  and  the  extra  100  copies 
were  taken  up  immediately.

traits are  guaranteed  likenesses  of  the  most  eminent  political  and 
literary  persons  of  that  time. 

The  celebrated  Association  called  the  Kit-Cat  Club  was  insti- 
tuted about  the  year  1700,  and  consisted  of  the  principal  noblemen 
and  gentry  who  opposed  the  arbitrary  measures  of  James  the  Second 
and  conduced  to  bring  about  the  Revolution  of  1688.

FINE  MANUSCRIPT  ON  VELLUM. 

1 195  MANUSCRIPT  ON  VELLUM.  Oraciones  a  la 
Virgen.  Horae  Beatae  Virginis,  cum  Calendario.  A  Man- 
uscript of  the  French  school,  written  on  284  leaves  of  very 
fine  vellum,  with  13  large  and  28  small  miniatures,  numerous 
illuminated  borders  and  initials.  Square  12°  calf,  gilt  edges 
(size  4i  X  si  in).  Saec,  XIV 

A  valuable  example  of  the  French  School  of  the  fourteenth 
century  with  13  full  page  and  28  small  miniatures,  27  very  elaborate 
grotesque  borders  besides  numerous  illuminated  borders  of  the  floriated 
pattern  and  hundreds  of  illuminated  initials  and  finial  bars. 

The  large  miniatures  are  of  beautiful  execution,  with  carefully 
finished  details,  with  landscape,  architectural  or  chess  board  back 
ground ;  the  smaller  miniatures  are  introduced  in  the  borders  and 
consist  of  subject  mostly  from  the  old  Testament. 

The  borders  which  are  unusually  elaborate,  are  a  combination 
of  floriated  and  scroll  work,  richly  dotted  with  burnished  gold,  and 
contain  an  immense  variety  of  grotesque  figures,  monsters,  nonde- 
scripts, animals,  etc. 

Among  the  large  Miniatures  are :  The  Annunciation,  Cruci- 
fixion, Visitation  of  Elizabeth,  Descent  of  the  Holy  Ghost,  Adoration 
of  Joseph  and  Mary,  Annuciation  to  the  Shepherds,  Circumcision, 
Slaughter  of  the  Innocents,  Virgin  and  Child,  Judgment  of  Solomon, 
etc. 

The  borders  in  the  above  Manuscript  are  good  specimens  of 
the  epoch  characterized  by  the  burlesque  celebrations,  feasts  of  fools, 
etc.,  inside  the  church  and  the  grotesque  carvings  on  the  outside;  the 
miniatures  (see  face  of  Christ  and  Apostles)  are  productions  of  the 
best  art  of  the  i)enod.

of  His  Majesty's  Good  Subjects.  Humbly  dedicated  to  all 
the  Virtuosi  of  New  England.  By  Thomas  Thumb,  Esq., 
pp.  24.     12°  full  brown  morocco  (title  mounted). 

Printed  in  July,  1754 
A  beautiful  copy  of  this  very  rare  tract,  which  gave  such  offense 
to  the  legislature  of  Massachusetts  that  it  was  ordered  to  be  burnt  by 
the  common  hangman,  and  Daniel  Fowle,  suspected  of  having  printed 
it,  was  arrested  and  imprisoned.  See  Thomas's  History  of  Printing, 
I.  333-339-  It  gives  a  satirical  account  of  the  debate  on  the  Excise 
Bill,  in  the  Council,  after  its  passage  by  the  house.  The  reputed  author 
was  Samuel  Waterhouse.  Mr.  Sabin  (Dictionary,  No.  12982)  says: 
"Of  this  work  .  .  .  not  more  than  three  or  four  copies  are  known, 
to  have  escaped  the  fire  to  which  is  was  condemned  by  the  General 
Court."

Englished  from  the  Spanish  by  John  Frampton;  newly 
corrected,  with  a  Treatise  of  the  Bezaar  Stone,  the  Herb

London, 1596 

This  rare  and  curious  volume  is  dedicated  "To  the  right  wor- 
shipfull  Mayster  Edwarde  Dier,  Esquier."  "It  might,"  says  the 
translator,  "bring  in  tyme  rare  profite  to  my  Country  Folkes  of  En- 
glande  by  wonderfull  cures  of  sundry  greate  diseases  that  otherwise 
than  by  these  remedies,  were  incurable."  Tobaco,  he  declares,  "the 
chiefest  among  other  medicinall  hearbes."

FLORIO'S    MONTAIGNE,    ORIGINAL    EDITION,    1603 

1 281 A  MONTAIGNE,  MICHAELL  DE.  The  Essayes; 
or,  Morall,  Politike  and  Millitarie  Discourses  of  Lo:  Michaell 
de  Montaigne  .  .  .  first  writen  by  him  in  French  and 
now  done  into  English  by  *  *  *  *  *  JOHN  FLORIO. 
Folio,  full  green  crushed  levant  morocco,  gilt  edges,  by  Riv- 
iere &  Son.       Lond.:    Val.  Sims  for    Edward  Blount,   1603 

It  contains  the  two  exceedingly  rare  leaves  of  "Errors  and 
Omissions"  at  the  end,  entirely  different  from  the  one  leaf  of  "Errors 
and  Omissions"  at  the  beginning.  This  is  the  FIRST,  and  is  known 
as  the  "SHAKESPEARE  EDITION,"  from  the  fact  that  in  the 
British  Museum  is  preserved  a  copy  bearing  the  autograph  of  Shakes- 
peare. It  is,  as  often  pointed  out,  the  only  book  of  which  we  can 
certainly  say  that  it  formed  part  of  Shakespeare's  library.  The  pres- 
ent copy  also  contains  the  long  preliminary  poem  by  Samuel  Daniel. 

In  such  superb  state  as  the  above,  this  edition  is  of  very  great 
scarcity,  and  an  apparently  poorer  copy,  described  as  "wormed," 
sold  at  Sotheby's  in  1901  for  £-j6.     Leffert's  copy.  $355.00.

It  is  a  work  that  was  illustrated  by  Mr.  HoUingsworth  and  no 
money  or  trouble  has  been  spared  to  make  it  one  of  the  best  that  could

PAUL  REVERE  S  PORTRAIT  OF  WASHINGTON. 

1344  NEW  ENGLAND  PRIMER  ENLARGED;  or, 
an  easy  and  pleasant  guide  to  the  Art  of  Reading,  adorn'd 
with  cuts.  To  which  are  added  the  Assembly  of  Divines, 
Catechism,   etc.     48°  boards.  Boston:  (1780?) 

Printed  by  E.  Draper  and  Sold  by  the  Book-Sellers. 

Contains  on  the  front  of  the  first  leaf  before  the  title  the  rare  por- 
trait of  Washington,  said  to  be  engraved  by  Paul  Revere. 

In  The  Engraved  Portraits  of  Washington,  by  Charles  Henry 
Hart,  Grolier  Club,  New  York,  1904,  the  following  account  is  given 
of  this  portrait  and  it  is  there  reproduced  at  p.  xv. 

"In  Goss's  Life  of  Paul  Revere,"  p.  501,  is  printed  a  letter  from 
Revere  to  his  cousin  Mathias  Rivoire,  in  France,  in  which  Revere 
says: 

'Before  this  reaches  you,  you  will  have  heard  of  the  victory 
gained  over  the  British  Army,  by  the  Allied  Armies,  commanded  by 
the  brave  General  Washington.  A  small  engraving  of  him  I  send  en- 
closed, it  is  said  to  be  a  good  likeness  and  it  is  my  engraving.' 

"It  so  happens  that  in  the  very  same  year  that  Revere  sent  the 
'small  engraving'  to  his  cousin  there  was  published  in  Boston,  by 
John  McDougall  &  Co.,  'Weatherwise's  Town  and  County  Alma- 
nack,' on  page  7  of  which  appears  the  type-metal  portrait  of  Wash- 
ngton.  It  is  after  Peale's  portrait  and  may  have  been  copied  from 
Norman's  sheet  Almanac  for  1780  which  it  closely  follows.  I  think, 
therefore,  this  type-metal  portrait  of  Washington  may  be  accepted  as 
the  Revere  'small  engraving,'  until  the  ascription  is  disproved  by  the 
production  of  a  copper-plate  print  bearing  his  name  as  engraver." 

This  is  the  Stephens  copy  which  was  the  first  copy  to  appear  at 
auction  since  the  portrait  has  been  identified  as  that  by  Paul  Revere.

MAJOR  ROBERT  ROGERS'S  JOURNAL. 

1507  ROGERS,  ROBERT.  Journals  of  Major  Robert 
Rogers.  Containing  an  account  of  several  Excursions  he 
made  under  the  Generals  who  commanded  upon  the  Conti- 
nent of  North  America,  during  the  late  war.  From  which 
may  be  collected  the  most  material  Circumstances  of  every 
Campaign  upon  the  Continent,  from  the  commencement  to 
the  conclusion  of  the  war.  8°  full  calf  extra,  yellow  edges, 
by  Larkins.  Printed  for  the  author:     London,   1765 

Fine  copy  of  the  first  edition,  with  unnumbered  leaf  of 
advertisements. 

The  Gerald  E.  Hart  copy,  which  brought  $30,  Barlow  copy, 
brought  $36. 

The  journal  of  this  celebrated  partisan  chief  affords  us  many 
interesting  details  of  border  warfare,  in  the  French  and  Indian  War, 
which  ended  seventeen  years  before  the  Revolution.  It  was  while 
associated  with  Rogers  that  General  Putnam  is  said  to  have  experi- 
enced those  wonderful  adventures,  with  the  relation  of  which  our 
youthful  nerves  have  so  often  thrilled.  It  is,  however,  remarkable 
that  Major  Rogers  does  not  even  mention  the  name  of  Putnam.

ROMANS'  FLORIDA. 

1509  ROMANS,  CAPT.  BERNARD.  A  Concise  Nat-

of  the  Natural  Produce  of  all  the  Southern  part  of  British 
America,  in  the  Three  Kingdoms  of  Nature,  particularly  the 
Animal  and  Vegetable.  Vol.  i  (all  published).  Maps  and 
plates.     Small  8°  old  calf. 

Printed  for  the  author:     New  York,  1775 

This  copy  is  complete  as  published,  with  six  engraved  plates  by 
the  author,  engraved  dedication  to  John  Ellis,  three  full-page  maps 
and  one  folded  tabulated  sheet. 

With  the  following  inscription,  "Hon'ble  John  Hancock,  Esqr. 
for  Harvard  College." 

The  second  edition  was  issued  in  the  following  year  with  an 
abridged  title,  less  preliminary  matter,  and  without  the  appendix, 
but  the  text  in  the  body  of  the  work  is  the  same  in  both  editions. 
In  the  "advertisement"  the  author  announces  his  intention  to  issue  a 
second  volume,  to  be  accompanied  by  maps,  adding,  that  "it  is  now 
in  the  press."  It  does  not  appear,  however,  that  it  ever  was  published. 
The  plates  are  curious  specimens  of  early  Continental  engraving; 
they  were  drawn  and  etched  by  Romans  himself,  who  throughout  he 
book  uses  a  small  i  for  the  personal  pronoun.

SANDERS'S  INDIAN  WARS. 

1 54 1  SANDERS,  DANIEL  CLARK.  A  History  of 
the  Indian  Wars  with  the  First  Settlers  of  the  United  States, 
particularly  in  New  England.  Written  in  Vermont,  pp. 
319.  18°  full  crimson  crushed  levant  morocco,  extra,  uncut 
edges,  gilt  top,  by  Sanford. 

Wright  &  Sibley:     Montpelier,  Vt.,  1812 

Fine  copy  except  2  leaves  closely  trimmed. 

"The  mystery  which  surrounded  the  authorship,  history  and 
origin  of  this  very  rare  volume,  has  been  slowly  dispelled  by  successive 
fragments  of  information.  So  few  copies  have  survived  the  holocaust 
to  which  it  was  devoted,  that  its  very  existence  was  unknown  to  the 
most  zealous  collectors  of  Indian  and  Vermont  history.  Pubhshed 
anonymously  without  preface,  it  was  known  to  but  few  that  the  author 
was  the  Rev.  Daniel  Clark  Sanders,  President  of  the  University  of 
Vermont.  Immediately  after  its  appearance  some  person,  evidently 
a  personal  enemy  of  the  author,  published  an  acrimonious  critique 
upon  the  book,  in  the  Liberal  and  Philosophical  Repository.  The 
animus  of  the  critique  was  evinced,  not  only  by  the  bitterness  of  his 
language,  but  by  his  ignorance  of  the  subject  of  Indian  wars,  being 
more  profound  than  that  of  the  author  of  the  book  he  scored.  Such 
was  the  effect  of  the  articles  upon  either  Mr.  Sanders  or  the  publishers 
that  the  work  was  suppressed.  But  very  few  copies  could  have  escaped 
the  hands  that  were  now  as  zealous  to  destroy  as  they  had  lately  been 
to  create.  In  fact,  so  nearly  complete  was  the  destruction  of  the  book, 
that  it  was  forgotten  by  those  who  professed  to  know  most  of  its 
author,  his  biographers.  Neither  Thompson,  Williams  or  Hemmen- 
way,  who  published  memoirs  of  Sanders,  mention  his  authorship  of 
this  book." — Field.

John  Allen,  and  are  to    be    sold    by    Richard  Wilkins,   1697 

First  edition,  uncut  copy. 

Title;  a  dedicatory  epistle  to  Sir  William  Ashhurst,  2  pp.; 
another  dedicatory  address  to  Governor  Stoughton,  3  pp.;  Psalm  139, 
7-10  (in  metre),  i  p. ;   Some  Few  Lines,  &c.,  pp.  60. 

The  First  Edition  of  Mr.  Sewall's  very  curious  and — in  spite 
of  its  title — amusing  book,  is  Extremely  Rare.  The  learned  and  pious 
author  labors  "to  expose  the  antick  fancy  of  America's  being  Hell'' 
— the  "Sedem  Inferorum"  to  which  Christ  descended, — or  even  the 
Apocalyptic  Gog  and  Magog;  but  he  honestly  confesses  (p.  40)  that 
"there  is  so  much  Confusion  in  the  discourses  upon  this  subject,  that 
a  man  cannot  tell  when  he  is  in  Heaven  and  when  he  is  in  Hell,", 
and  that  "so  near  an  approach  to,  so  compleat  a  resemblance  of  Hell 
was  not  to  be  found  in  reruin  natura"  as  in  America.

SHIP  OF  FOOLS,  1511. 

1588  SHIP  OF  FOOLS.  Geyler,  Joannis.  Navicula, 
sive  Speculum  Fatuorum,  compendiose  Vitae  Jo.  Geyleri. 
Black  Cotter.  One  hundred  and  eleven  extremely  curious 
and  highly  spirited  woodcuts,  some  as  large  as  the  page. 
Small  4°  full  antique  morocco,  extra,  blind  tooling,  gilt  edges, 
by  Thompson.  -  Argentorati,  151 1 

This  very  curious  satire  against  the  Vices  of  the  Times  and  more 
especially  against  the  abuses  of  the  Romish  Church,  ever  since  1815, 
when  Edward's  copy  sold  for  £43.  has  been  eagerly  sought  after  by 
amateurs,  for  whom  a  fine  copy,  owing  to  the  difficulty  of  meeting  one, 
has  the  greatest  attraction.  Many  of  the  laughable  woodcuts  have 
Xylographic  Inscriptions,  which  has  induced  collectors  of  Block  Books 
to  admit  this  entertaining  production  as  one  of  their  gems.  Clement 
supposes  the  life  was  not  published  with  the  book,  as  the  only  two 
copies  he  met  with  were  deficient  of  that  portion.

America,  from  the  First  Settlement  thereof  until  this  present 
Period;  containing  the  most  authentick  facts,  matters  and 
transactions  therein.  Together  with  His  Majesty's  Charter, 
Representations  of  the  People,  Letters,  etc.,  and  a  dedication 
to  His  Excellency  General  Oglethorpe.  By  Pat.  Tailfer, 
M.  D.,  Hugh  Anderson,  M.  A.,  Da.  Douglas,  and  others,  pp. 
(xxiv),  176.  16°  three  quarters  green  crushed  levant 
morocco,  gilt  back  and  top,  by  Forbes  &  Co. 
Printed  by  P.  Timothy,  for  the  Authors:  Charles-Town,   1741 

Original  edition ;  both  the  Brinley  and  Menzies  catalogues 
give  collation  as  pp.  XVIII,  118. 

This  rare  pamphlet  contains  some  very  unpleasant  particulars 
of  the  scandalous  conduct  of  the  Rev.  John  Wesley  during  his  apostolic 
mission  in  Savannah.  According  to  these  gentlemen,  "He  was  in- 
dicted before  a  Grand  Jury  of  Forty-Four  Free-holders,  and  Thirteen 
Indictments  were  found  against  him ;  one  concerned  Mr.  Williamson 
and  his  Spouse."  Mr.  Wesley,  it  appears,  undertook  to  "pour  the 
leperous  distilment"  into  the  ear  of  this  virtuous  lady,  to  the  effect 
that  "her  husband  had  no  right  to  regulate  her  behaviour  as  to  con- 
versing with  him."  However,  as  soon  as  the  distinguished  apostle 
heard  that  these  indictments  had  been  found  against  him,  he  did  not 
tarry  to  discuss  the  question  further,  but  bolted  out  of  the  town  in  the 
night,  fled  to  Charles-Town,  and  thence  to  England.  See  pages  41, 
42,  43,  and  48.        See  reproduction.

already  commanded  fancy  prices.     French  copy  brought,  $74.
